Yokozuna, Rikishi, Umaga, Roman Reigns, The Rock, The Usos, etc. have all achieved success in WWE. To this day, members of the Anoa'i family are still an integral part of WWE and compete on three different brands. The Bloodline is composed of Roman Reigns and The Usos, and is arguably the most dominant stable in WWE. But they are not alone.

Three generations of the Anoa'i family wrestled in WWE, and fans may not know that the first fourth-generation superstar is about to debut. Dwayne Johnson's daughter Simon Johnson will become the first fourth-generation wrestler in her family because she has signed with NXT. Simone Johnson is the first daughter of The Rock and his first wife Danny Garcia. Simone has not made his debut on NXT yet.

Although many members of the Anoa'i family have wrestled in WWE, only three can get to the top of the ladder and win the WWE championship. The Rock, Yokozuna and Roman Reigns are the only three to win the most prestigious world championship titles in WWE history.

The Great One has won the WWE championship eight times in his career, and Yokuzona has won it twice. Roman Rains has won the WWE championship three times, won the global championship twice, and is likely to win more championships in the future.

As former WWE champions, The Rock, Yokozuna and Roman Reigns have always been the main event scenes. These three members of the Anoa'i family are the only three wrestlers who have participated in the biggest stage main event.

In the Attitude era, The Rock was the main event of some WrestleMania events. Later, he ended his biggest performance of the year twice against John Cena at WrestleMania 28 and 29. Yokozuna also participated in the main events of WrestleMania 9 and 10. As for Roman Reigns, he has made WrestleMania headlines five times in his career.

The traditional Samoan tattoo is one of the reasons that makes the Anoa'i family members stand out. Although not everyone has those detailed tribal tattoos, eight members of this family have such similar tattoos.

The original table chief and first-generation wrestler Peter Maivia had tribal tattoos on his abdomen and legs. Usos and Solo Sikao also have it. Although Roman Reigns' full sleeves may be popular, The Rock made it iconic in his heyday.

Among the members of the Anoa'i family, there are currently six superstars serving as full-time wrestlers in WWE. The descent is Ursos and the Roman dynasty, and some other members are Tamina, Solo Sikoya, and even Naomi, who is connected to the family through marriage.

Nia Jax is another family member of WWE, but the company recently released her. I don't know who might appear uo in the future, because the wrestling with this family is very deep.

Although wrestling is the blood of this legendary Samoan family, the four family members also have football backgrounds. The Rock, Roman Reigns, Rosey and Manu all played football before they started wrestling.

Afa's son Manu played football in college. Rossi and Romain Rains also played football in college. He played briefly for the Jacksonville Jaguars and Minnesota Vikings. As for The Rock, he played for the Miami Hurricanes.

Although many members of the Anoa'i family have won the championship, only Roman Reigns has successfully won the WWE Grand Slam championship. The Rock won the WWE Championship, Intercontinental Championship and Tag Team Championship, but he never won the American Championship.

Roman Reigns holds all the major active titles of WWE in his name. He won the U.S. Championship and the Continental Championship once. He is also a doubles champion.

The Rock is probably the most popular name in the Anoa'i family. However, from the perspective of his mother, he is related to the Samoan dynasty. Roman Reigns is the cousin of The Rock. The Rock's father Rocky Johnson married Peter Maivia's daughter Ata Maivia, who was the mother of The Great One.

As a superstar of the Attitude era, The Rock has an amazing career at WWE, which makes him one of the most successful people in the family, in terms of the number of titles. Although not a Grand Slam champion, The Rock has won a staggering 17 titles.

He is a ten-time world champion, a two-time intercontinental champion and a five-time doubles champion. So far, Roman Reigns is closest to his cousin, and there are eight titles in his name.

Three wrestlers of Anoa'i descent participated in the main event of WrestleMania, but a total of 11 family members participated in the biggest competition of the year, setting an extraordinary record.

Nia Jax was the newest member on this list when she made her debut on WrestleMania 33. But it started with the Tongan kid. He was the first member of the Anoa'I family to participate in The Showcase of Immortals and participated in WrestleMania 4.

With 11 games, WWE legendary boulder "Boulder" Johnson has some classics and duds of wrestling mania. This is their ranking from worst to best.

Avik is a wrestling enthusiast and he has been following it since Attitude Era. The Rock and The Undertaker are his favorite wrestlers. He holds a bachelor's degree in English literature.
